Nr.w YoitK. Jan. 81. Charleston
sovcn miles from Ashley Junction.
Journeying by direct routo toward tho
Floridns nnd other winter hnunts of
wealthv nortbeners, ono would naturally
expect to Ilnd South Carolina's principal
6caport on tho through lino of the Atlan
tic coast rail. It isn t thero. KIclimonu,
Vn., Is. So Is Wilmington, N. C, and
Savannah, Go. So is ABhloy Junction;
and hero is n hurried transfer from
comfortable Bleeping and dining coaches
to very ordinary cars, when tlio passen
ger is booked for Charleston.
Yet Ashley Junction hasdovelopcd its
compensating influences. Being located
at a half hour's railwny distance from
Charleston, It served as a quarantine
against Jacksonville nnd Ub deadly BalT
ron tinted epidemic of last year. No
suspected or Innocent Floridlan was
ablo, during tho yellow fever scare, to
go into Charleston from this outer
barrier. Tlio hygienic- regulation workod
to n charm.
On the train between Aiken nnd
Branchville n colored preacher talked
volubly about his race, Its needs nnd Its
destiny. Ho know tho good timo was
coming; In fact, ho believed that a big
sllco of It had already got here. It was
his idea that the negroes wero too much
tho proy and too littlo tho caro uf their
white fellow citizens. Ho deplored the
poverty and Illiteracy of tho colored peo
plo of that section, but Beomed greatlj
cheered by tho brightening prospect.
Himself raised from tho servile position
of a common field hand to a piano hon
ored by men, ho was n steadfabt friend
of all educational institutions. "Let me
tell you, sir," ho said, 'hiding tho waiter
was an interested listener, "what South
Carolina wants most is u higher grade of
intelligence among laborers of both
6cxcs. Her working population, white
as well as black, must becomo better ed
ucated. Embodiment and sequel of tho thir
teenth amendment of tho national con
stitution, the Southern negro, whether
man, woman or child, is nlwayaan in
structive study.
Increased transportation facilities, with
cheap excursion ratei, induces tlio freed
man and members of his family to visit
scenes dear to them from early associa
tion. I was smoking nn nftcr dinner
clgnr one evening on tho porch of a rural
hotel in Darlington county, when the
colored baggago crusher, pointing to one
of his 8 peel en on tho opposite sido of the
road, suddenly exclaimed:
"Dat's n Charleston niggah, bossl"
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Easy uuf, sab. Ho puts on too much
6tylo for dls ycr place. Dat's shunh!"
The hotel jiortcr was right. A week
afterward tho stylish tourist of Darling
ton lathered my foco as ho scraped ac
quaintance in a King street barber shop.
Ho knew me again.
"Shave close, sir?"
I nodded my head, as nfllrmntivo.
"Saw you in Florenco n few days ngo,
didn't I, colonel?" ho questioned ln the
next breath.
"May be you did," Bald I.
"Yes, sir. It was last Wednesday."
"Wero you born in that county'" I in
quired, as lie deftly nicked mo with hid
razor under tho right ear and drew first
blood.
"No. Indeed, slrl I went up thero to
see my father's young master's gravo.
He was killed in the war, sir, at the place
yon call Antietam. 1 was born right
here in Charleston after father got his
freedom; but we all think a good deal of
young master, sir. He was a good man
and a bravo soldier, thoy say who know
him."

with tho social nplondor of tho Federal
city. Nearly all tho women who ac

nro unable to accedo to half tho requests
that aro made of them from scheming
mammas at homo to bring their budding
and nmbltlous daughters to tho capital
and Introduce them to tho gay whirl.
Yet for the most part it Is a very Btupld
sort of society , a very onerous and try
ing society, ono In which few real friend
ships nre found, ono which many women
of Bcnse and soberness havo tasted only
to nbjuro.
We are now In the midst of thonnnual
"season." and already society's devotees
are beginning to need the attentions of
medical advisers, to thirst for rest and
quiet. Tho labors of public men, their
long vlrjlls at their ollleial deskB, their
struccles with tho masses of correspond
ence which continually Hood them, havo
been much written about. Somo sym
pathy has oven been roused for tlicin.
But you novcr hear of tlio labors of tho
women, who ns n mntter of fact work
harder than their husbands In congress
or the departments, who aro dally con
fronted with tasks from which theBtrong
cst. most nctlvo man would shrink. The
Washington woman of society Is envied
wherever she Is heard of, but sho de
serves pity instead.

Then nhij consults tho society column of
her morning uawspnpor to bco what
changes from (ho regular programmo
aro announced. Tho cards of the ladled
who receive on Tuesday", or on Thurs
days, or Fridays nro placed In littlo
piles. Thus order gradually comes out
of chaos. In nn hour tho fair campaigner
has laid out her routo for tlio day. Sho
has contrived to savo all posslhlo retrac
ing of her steps, for timo is everything.
If sho Is experienced and skillful sho
will make a littlo map of tho aristocratic
or northwestern part of tho city, and
mark a cross thereon for each stopping
plaeo. This Is for hor coachman.
Coachles aro stupid follows sometimes,
and diagrams hell) them to cover tho
ground rapidly and without tho loss of a
minute.
Finally her eyes rest upon tho clock.
It Is high noon.
"Dear mo!" sho exclaims, "Is It bo

go nnd dress and got a bit of luncheon.
I havo a hard dny't work before mo."
At half past 1 tho carriage appears,
and our campaigner, looking very pretty
In her light wrap with a littlo color at
hor throat, and a littlo moro on hor
cheeks, sots out upon her raid. Sho is
rather eager now, and Impatiently asks
the conchmau if ho fully understands
what is expected of him.
"Forty calls today, you know, John,
and not n miutito to spare."
John touches his hat respectfully, and
nftcr my lady has seated herself In tho
carriage ho raises his whip. John knows
what forty calls mean. Tho horses
know, too, nnd nwny thoy go. Tho av
enue Is full of other equipages, liearlng
other women on similar errands bent.'
Tho afternoon sortie Is now on, and may
nil pedestrians look sharp. Washington
society hns tho right of wny.
Forty calls In four hours! Ten calls

Three minutes for driving from houso to
house, one mlnuto to got out of the car-
riago and Into tho drawing room, ono

what It Is. No wonder John whips up
tho hordes nnd drives his equipage

Let us sco what sort of labor tho fash
lonablo woman is taxed with. Wo find
her ono morning In her littlo sitting
room with a look of anxiety on her faco.
In her baud she holds n map of the city.
On the table before her llo several hun
dred little pieces of bristol Iranrd. Can
you guess what who Is doing? Laying
out tho plan of campaign. Devising
ways nnd means for making tlio greatest
possible number of calls In a given num
ber of hours. Uvcry ono of thoso pieces
of board represents an obligation, a task.
If she Is to do her duty, if alio Is to "keep
up," not one must bo neglected. Each
card represents n call mado on her by
other victims of tlio Moloch of fashion.
Sho had her reception tho day before
Sovcral hundred ladies called, remained
a moment, and hurried away. Tho
faces of four-fifths of them sho has for
gotten. Nine-tenths of them aro nothing
to her. nothing moro than the other
Btrangers she sees nt tho thentro or in tho
stores. Yet they havo called, exchanged
a hurried word r two with her, left
their cards, nnd now, forsooth, sho must
do llkowise unto them.
The poor woman counts her enrds.
There may be 200. Even the prldo which
she naturally feels at being honored with

woman like, oho grabs up tho cards,
takes a littlo comfort out of thoso which
represent persons of tho highest ollleial
station, and sets to work again on her

III and out of tho houses (lies our cam
paigner. Her chatelalno wntcli Is al
ways in Iter hand, and if she catches
herself a half minuto behind time sho re
doubles herelTorts in order to catch up.
If sho be lucky enough to get n half
minuto on tlio credit sido of her ledger
bIio pauses In homebody's drawing room
loiur eiioiiL'li to tako a cup of tea or
chocolate, or possibly a Hip of the punch,
to strengthen and cheer her for tho fierce
struggles yet to como. Now wo find her
absent inindedly looking at bcr littlo
watch right under tho very nosoof her
hostess, and cutting Bhort a gracious ro
murk about tho weather with n boiiio
what ungracious:
"Good-by: my half minuto has ox
plrcdl" And then she starts on another lap,
leaving her hostess to tako up tho mete
orological conversation with tho uoxt
racer. ,
What, talking about tho weather In
this brilliant society of Washington!
Yes, Indeed. Not much elso is talked
about in thoso kaleidoscopic afternoon
drawing rooms. Thero is not timo for
any Berious conversation. Hurry nnd
triviality, stupidity and formality, be
como habitual on thcso occasions. Said
tho bricht wifo of an Illinois congress
man who had been a school mistress; "I
had heard so much of Washington so
ciety that I was almost afraid to enter it.
I was timid about meeting tlio great
ladies, and lieforo coming hero brushed
up n little in art, literature and olitict
that I might not bo wholly nonplused
when engaged In conversation with the
brilliant leaders of capital society. Im
agino my surpriso to find tho weathei
always and everywhere the chiol
topic of conversation."
At 0 in tho evening n pair of tired
horses, a stifT coachman, a dust stained
carriage draw up In front of the homo ol
our fair campaigner. An uxhausted wo
man steps upon the curb, and unless she
has an evening reception to attend, or a
dinner table to sit at from 7 to 10, she
crams a little food down her throat,
takes a Mep at tlio children und goes oil
to bed to gather strength for the mor
row's raid, nnd to dream of electric
dilclcs and pneumatic slides by which
6lxty calls may lieiiiadeinhixy minutes.
And yet there are women who pre
